Second Quarter

My second quarter has officially ended and I am happy to breathe a sigh of relief. Now that I have gotten back into the swing of being back in school, it has definitely gotten a lot better. The best part of every quarter is meeting new people and making new friends, and also the doubt in my head when I see the assignments at the beginning of the quarter and wonder how am I ever going to do all of this. That moment when I see the final product is priceless because I can't believe I did it, I made that.

I am just more anxious about continuing forward. I'm so ready to begin my interior design coursework and I'm growing more impatient by the day, but I know these classes are necessary in order for me to be successful.

This quarter I took Drawing II and Survey of Western Art.

As I prepare my portfolio, images will be posted. Just bear with me! :)

Love,

Lola

First Quarter

I cannot believe I let this much time go by without posting about my first quarter at SCAD. I took Drawing I and Speaking of Ideas. I was anxious and nervous about starting because first of all, I couldn't draw, and second, I hate speaking in public. Great way to start the first quarter!

If you could see me now, you couldn't believe I was the same person that could barely hold a pencil. I cannot express how happy I am that I made the decision to attend SCAD and it is worth every penny! Well, sometimes I have my moments.

Later, I'll post some pictures so that you can see my progress and development over time. Gotta make sure they look professional, know what I mean...

Thanks for being a part of my journey!

Until next time...

Love,

Lola

p.s. If you check out my About page, there is a picture I took while down in Savannah back in March before I started classes. Definitely had to stop by SCAD!

Dreams Do Come True...

““A creative [wo]man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others...””

— Ayn Rand

I know...I know...I have been MIA for quite some time. One thing led to another and then before I knew....weeks had gone by without me posting anything. I determined to get back on track, get focused, and stop being lazy! Those are definitely my goals from now and so forth.

On another note, the main reason why I want to write this post is definitely to update you on what I have been getting prepared for. Last time I spoke of going back to school was in a previous post HERE. Well...I am definitely pleased to say that I have received my acceptance letter from the Savannah College of Art and Design, SCAD for short, and will be starting my new path beginning March 2015. Yes, just about two months away and I am ecstatic!

One of the main reasons I started this blog was to definitely have you guys join me while I explore this new direction that life has taken me, and this acceptance has definitely got the ball rolling. I am happy that I have come such a long way and I am actually brave enough to share my experiences with you all. This will be an amazing journey and I hope that it inspires at least one person out there who gets the chance to read this.

Until next time...

Love,

Lola

Weekend Recap

This weekend was very much needed. Since I am more of a homebody, I love to be at home, but...every once in a while, I do want to go out and socialize. So here's a little recap of my weekend that I wanted to share with you guys!

Friday:

While I was at Georgia Southern, I joined a professional business fraternity named Delta Sigma Pi. So a lot of these people became much more than just members of the fraternity, they became my family. I would never trade moments that we have shared together, and it is always a joy to get to see them again!

Saturday:

I had such a blast at SCAD Day on Saturday. I was able to design my day exactly the way I wanted it to be. I sat in a few workshops, took a tour of the facility, and spoke with my admissions advisor. I was so excited to be there that it didn't occur to me to take any pics, but I do have a few pics of the SCAD Pads that I was able to view. Basically, these micro homes fit in the size of a parking space! Amazing, isn't it? It is definitely a wonderful movement that I wish to become a part of and I encourage you to visit their website at www.scadpad.com. Click to view larger pics. Enjoy!

And last but definitely not least. My best friend flew down from Philadelphia to celebrate her birthday and I am so glad I was able to share it with her! Happy Birthday Dana!!!

WHOOOHOOOO!!!! Go Dana!
